What is SOURCE CONTROL?
1) Source of moisture/humidity

3) Filtering the air
MOLD loves humidity. An indoor environment with 65% or above in humidity is a very
fertile place for mold. So, use a dehumidifier and control the humidity in the air.

How do we get rid of these micro particles? As we have said, the most effective tech-
nology to safely remove these particles is with HEPA filtration. A true HEPA filter is
rated at removal of 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns and larger. An interesting
fact is that the effectiveness of HEPA filters increases over time which is the opposite
of the ionic or filter-less technologies as those plates get dirty the ability to charge and
collect particles decreases. Also, since these particles can be easily breathed into our
respiratory system, the last thing you want to do is have to clean them regularly and
come into contact with the stuff you’re trying to avoid. In addition, HEPA filters also
perform better at the removal of particles smaller than 0.3 microns.

To kill bacteria, UV lamps have been proven effective. The Alen T300 and A375UV
specifically address these concerns as well as offer HEPA filtration for mold spores,
pollen, dust, etc.
